Identity
How to Overcome Anxious Thoughts | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Hebrews 13:7-9 to show that anxious, negative thoughts can be changed by reorienting our thinking toward the consistent, gracious character of God. He argues that Christians often fill unknowns with worst-case scenarios, consume content that trains cynicism, and let inconsistent human leaders or past experiences dictate their view of God.
Why Am I So Tired? | Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from John 15 about why we feel chronically tired and empty: we're trying to be our own source instead of remaining in Jesus, the true vine. She gives three checks for anyone feeling drained - check your source (Jesus is the true vine), check your posture (abiding is a continual dependence, not a perfect quiet moment), and check your fruit (visible evidence of connection with Christ).
When God is Late | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 11 (the story of Lazarus) to address what to do when God seems late. He argues that Jesus' delay was purposeful: God sometimes waits so a greater glory, transformation, or platform for the gospel can emerge.
Do You Know the Real Jesus? | Connor Crumpton
Connor Crumpton walks the congregation through John 6, showing how the famous feeding of the 5,000 becomes the setup for Jesus’ deeper claim to be the ‘bread of life.’ The crowd follows Jesus for signs and provision (their bios), but Jesus calls them to believe in him for zoe - eternal, abundant life - a single work God requires. When Jesus claims divine identity and speaks of eating his flesh and drinking his blood, many who chased miracles turn away.
Life: What's the Point? | WAY Church at Home
This is the first message in a 21-week series through the Gospel of John. The preacher frames John's purpose: the gospel was written so people would believe that Jesus is the Messiah and have life through him.
Addicted to Approval? How to Quit Comparing | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin warns that an addiction to the approval of others - fed by constant comparison - will derail our obedience and calling from Jesus. He shows how comparison harms relationships (treating teammates like competitors), destroys contentment, and ultimately stops us from obeying God.
Why Would God Use Me? | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin began by celebrating Way Church's generosity and the tangible outcomes from the "Only God" offering - church plants, missions, and thousands led to Christ. He read 2 Corinthians 4:7 and built the sermon around the image of believers as fragile clay jars who carry a priceless treasure: the life of Jesus.
Victory Formation | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin traces Jacob's lifelong pattern of manipulation back to the Genesis birthright story and shows how that pattern culminates in the night he wrestles with God (Genesis 32). Herrin argues that Jacob's prior victories over people were selfish and short-sighted - like Esau selling his birthright for stew - and that real victory in God's kingdom comes not from striving but from honest surrender.
Discovering Your Five Fold Ministry Gift - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches on the five-fold ministry from Ephesians 4, arguing that God wires believers with primary and secondary giftings - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds (pastors), and teachers - to build up the body and advance the mission. He reads Ephesians 4:1 and 4:11-12, explains each gifting's strengths, common occupations, and shadow sides, and insists these are functions/wirings (not titles or offices).
When God Feels Far - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 21 about how many Christians let performance determine their sense of closeness to God. He explains that Peter, after denying Jesus, retreats to his old life (fishing) because he feels like a failure, but Jesus meets him where he is - calling him back and restoring his calling.
Secure In Other’s Success - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon preached about how comparison and insecurity undermine unity and steal joy, using recent sports examples (Caitlin Clark) and biblical stories (Saul and David, Andrew, Jonathan) to show the cost. He argues that when we idolize our gifts, platform or reputation we subtly shift from serving God to serving our own status - a 'leadership lie' that expects God to raise our name as he raises His.
You're Already There - Camilo Buchanan
Camilo Buchanan preaches that because of what Jesus has already done we are already seated with him in the heavenly places, and living in that reality should change how we respond to life now. He walks through Luke 7 (the healing of the centurion's servant) and Ephesians 2 to show that faith trusts Jesus authority and rests in what God has already accomplished for us and for our future.
WORDS - From Talk To Walk (pt.6) - Maddy Herrin
Maddy Herrin preaches from James chapter 3 about the power and danger of the tongue. She opens with a personal illustration about how her silence after her husband's haircut hurt him, then reads James to show how small words steer big outcomes, like a rudder steering a ship.
Remember Who You Are - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Mark 5, using the story of the woman with the issue of blood to show how our thoughts and our identity shape our lives. He argues that small thoughts lead to big outcomes and that the devil attacks our thinking to redefine our identity by our struggles.
The One You Love - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 11 (the story of Lazarus) to make a single pastoral point: our primary identity before God is not what we do but that we are the one Jesus loves. He contrasts Mary and Martha’s simple, urgent phrase “Lord, the one you love is sick” with a culture that markets achievements and performance as the way to God.
It's Personal - Micah MacDonald
Micah McDonald preaches from John 20 using Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Jesus to argue that Christianity is meant to be deeply personal. He shows how hearing Jesus call her name moved Mary from grief to proclamation, and draws three practical results of a personal relationship: full commitment, the ability to recognize Jesus' voice, and clear purpose.
5 Ways To Kill Comparison - Grant Skeldon
Grant Skeldon teaches that comparison is a spiritual attack disguised as a normal habit, rooted in the belief that you are not getting what you deserve. He explains how that feeling of deserve fueled Saul's jealousy of David and how taking our eyes off Jesus leads to sinking like Peter.
If Jesus Had A Bio - The True Vine - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 15, explaining Jesus as the True Vine and that spiritual fruit flows only from remaining connected to him. He argues fruit is both the character of Christ and the work of Christ done for others, not something to be harvested for self-glory.
If Jesus Had A Bio - The Good Shepherd - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from John 10, unpacking Jesus as the Good Shepherd. He argues that Jesus both corrects and protects his sheep, and that divine correction is for our protection, not rejection.
